Graduated Zensah Compression Leg SleevesCompression Short
Graduated compression garments deliver the greatest amount of
compression to the part of the garment farthest away from the heart, and
the least amount compression in the part closest to the heart (for
example, socks have more compression in the ankle and less in the calf).
With graduated compression, the veins' cross sectional area is
decreased and a pressure gradient is created, which leads to
physiological benefits including:
- Enhanced blood circulation
as a result of improved venous return. This means that deoxygenated
blood goes back to the heart faster to improve blood flow of oxygen-rich
blood back to the body
- Faster recovery following strenuous exercise and improved performance, by aiding in the removal of blood lactate through improved circulation.
- Enhanced warm-up via increased skin temperature.
- Reduced muscle oscillation and vibration
upon ground contact, providing stability to the muscle to help prevent
micro-trauma, resulting in a faster and easier recovery.
- Reduced effects of delayed onset muscle soreness in the days following strenuous exercise through alleviating swelling and inflammation.
- Increased muscle support, which increases performance through improved muscle efficiency.
- Improved leg power and vertical jump power through enhanced proprioception.
